People complain about why do people only look at my grades. The question is, what do you want people to look at then? How awesome your car is? how great you're able to mod your car? fuck that.

I get this a lot. I'm already so awesome, why can't people just realize it. TO be honest, it's cause you're not. I often ask my applicants this question. Tell me something that's not school or GPA related and what makes you special? A lot of people go speechless, why? Because at that moment, you look back and you realize having iphone 5, finishing another level on candy crush, being a FB whore etc... all these things, in the end means nothign to the employer and you start questioning what you have really done to enhance your career or character.

there is no right or wrong, and even for someone that has 10 yrs of experience, it's how they answer and go about this question, that gets them hired.

Great post but aren't yourself an avid user of this forum?
